Story Accepted at The Drabble!

I submitted a bit of flash fiction to The Drabble, the wordpress library for 100-word literature, and it was accepted!

They say that it should go up in four our five weeks.  Which puts it in October, which, as you can imagine, is perfect for my stuff.

Further details as I learn them.
